Quote:What is a committee?

A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary.  

Richard Harkness, The New York Times, 1960

Quote:Slogan of 105.9, the classic rock radio station in Chicago:
"Of all the radio stations in Chicago ... we're one of them."

Quote:We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.  

Mark Twain

Quote:If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life,
she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.

Was reading an article about Cher and it said this which I did not know

======

Cher’s Role Model
As a child, she had a long string of movie stars as heroes, which would ultimately pave the way for her own success in Hollywood. The most significant influence on her was from the legendary Audrey Hepburn. After watching her in the iconic movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The inspiration for Cher’s performances would become more and more apparent, as she wore similar outfits as the actress and even behaved like Hepburn.

Quote: For a wound to heal, you have to clean it out. Again, and again, and again. And this cleaning process stings. The cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence. And so much patience. But every process has an end and an appointed term. Your healing will come… And like all created things, your worldly pain will die.
